I will not doubt the love untold
Which not my worth nor want hath
bourht.
Which wooed me young and wooa me
old.
And to thi- evening hath me brought.
Thoreau.
The return recentlyor per
chance near recently of a cer
ta'n handaooie and intelligent
bachelor,' of uncertain age and
complexioa, to Ideptidenc
has produced a ripple of excite
ment and a feeliagof deepest in
terest for this return meaneth
that:
He who courts and runs away
will return to court some other
liay. This wave of interest has
produced a rumer that an inter
i sting engagement will be an
i.ounced near the approaching
Valentine seasoa, the announce
ment to be followed closnly by
wedding chimes, for another lo
cality w ill claim tbem and the
thee benedict must hastily re
turn to his chosen home.
Together with this Rumor, iN
a tantalizing way, is guarding
many love secrets which will
not be revealed until King Win

ers blossom again.
